Kriya ki mool baatein (practices)

• Ayambil: har din ek sadharan bhojan, bina taste ke, pani peene ki jankari niyamit samay par hoti hai. Is bhojan me doodh, makkhan, tel, chini, masale, fal/shaak nahi hote; anukool roop se boiled grains ya pulses liye jate hain. Paani boiled roop me pila jata hai.

• Navapad/Siddhachakra aradhana: Navpad ki purn puja prathana ki jati hai; Siddhachakra yantra ki pooja ke sath padon ki jagah‑jagah aradhana hoti hai. Variations sangh aur tradition par depend karti hain (Shwetambar/Digambar). ( jainknowledge.com)
• Saath me dusre pravrittiyo ki pratishtha: samayik (ek samay par dhyaan), pratikraman (papon ki pachhatapa), svadhyay (shastra adhyayan) aadi ki practice ki jati hai. ( jainknowledge.com)

Din ki vishesha yogyata (ek navpad ke liye samay)

• Chaitra Oli: Sud 7 se Sud 15 (purnima tak) ke beech. Ashwin Oli bhi isi tarah hota hai. Exact tareekhe local panchang aur sangh ki maryada par depend karti hain; isliye apne local sangh ya guru ki tareekh dekhna uchit hota hai. (Samanya date guideline) ( jainknowledge.com)
• Digambar vs. Shwetambar ke antar: dono traditions Navpad Oli ko manate hain, lekin liturgical sequences aur kuch chhote shabdik niyamon me thode farak ho sakte hain. Shwetambar ons Siddhachakra ki puja par zyada jor de sakte hain, Digambar Navapad Aradhana par kendrit ho sakte hain. Mool uddeshya tapas, santosh aur Navpad ki aradhna hi hota hai.

Saar (mukh arth)

• Ayambil Oli ek aisa 9-din ka bahya tap hai jisme din bhar ek sadharan bhojan liya jata hai, taaki taste ki moh kam ho. Saath hi Navapad ya Siddhachakra ki aradhna se man aur atma ki pavitrata ko badhava milta hai. Is se kashaya kam hote hain, satsang, dhyaan aur maryada ki bhavna gahri hoti hai. ( jainknowledge.com)
